Inclement Weather Policy
It's the time of year when we must be prepared for inclement weather. We wanted
to take an opportunity to share the most
effective way to learn whether the church
services have been canceled. We of course trust each of you
will make the best decisions in regards to your safety, especially those living further from the church. Peace and blessings!

our souls. Sign up will be at our website and
